LINGARD ON HIS ROLE MODELS

Jesse Lingard spoke about his role models while growing up as a United youngster. The England no7 said, ”Scholes was always there to chat to, as a player. Of course, there were a lot of players at that time, Rio, Giggs, Wazza, all there to help me and give me advice. I used to watch Iniesta a lot. I liked him from Barcelona. You just pick up little things of what they do and try to put it into your game. Just the way he graces the pitch. He’s silky, an intelligent footballer.”

Lingard also spoke on the effect Jose Mourinho has had on him. Lingard said, “Mourinho? It’s always good for a player and a manager to be on the same level. He understands me and he understands my character.”
